Inside Repairs

Our day/night shades operate by just pulling them down or pushing them up which causes the strings to wear out over time. I have replaced almost all of the strings on the fifth wheel shades with new ones except for one shade in the living area and one in the bedroom. They were completed yesterday. They don't take that long to do - about 45 minutes each - but the tricky part is creating the proper tension on each shade so they operate easily. This is one job that homeowners don't have to fuss with and there is a special string that you order from the fifth wheel manufacturer to do the job. Fortunately, we ordered enough last year to do all the shades.

I also did some other minor repairs inside the rig while Josie worked at the flower shop. Her day was not long as she was home by 2:30. There isn't a whole lot happening at the shop so her days will most likely all be that way this week.

One important task that we will complete today is to take our Serv-Safe certificates to the Regional Office in Peoria. They issue cards to show that we are qualified as Food Handlers for our jobs at the stadium. We keep clocking in and out when we go to the stadium for training but we haven't received any paychecks yet. We have spent money buying uniform shoes and on-line class material for training, in addition to the cost of our cards today. It isn't breaking the bank, but it will be nice to see some cash soon. I believe we do get a check when we check in for our first game on Friday. Only three more days to go...
